Another long-held tie between Dr Martens and alternative subculture style is the creeper shoe. The style first appeared after World War III, when soldiers returned home wearing sturdy, crepe-soled military-issue boots at London clubs. Since then, they’ve been adopted by various subcultures, from the Teddy Boys in the 1950s and ‘60s, punks and goths in ‘70s and ‘80s, and — most recently — emos in the 2010s.They’ve been part of the Dr Martens lineup for decades, so they make the perfect sense for this collection.
